Election night reveals three disturbing facts
2020-11-04
[American Thinker] Election night revealed a few disturbing items that should trouble freedom-loving Americans.

First that the race is even this tight speaks to disturbing number of Americans who are woefully uninformed. Second, Fox News has gone over to the dark side, or, rather, the left. And third, the level of coordination to make this race close is stunning.

That the senile and corrupt Joe Biden could finish so strong speaks to either the gullibility or unseriousness of far too many Americans. Biden obviously has mental acuity issues and has a history of corruption, but that did not seem to be a big deal to the Americans who voted for him. I guess the probability of more lockdowns are lost on a number of Americans who are more frightened by the Wuhan virus than the probability of America becoming a socialist, if not communist, nation under a Biden presidency.

Speaking of a Biden presidency, if he were to win, odds are he would not finish out his first term. Vice President Kamala Harris would become president, a person who dropped out of the Democrat primaries before a single vote was cast based on her lack of voter support, and a politician who is one of the most leftist senators. So the people who squandered American freedom and prosperity for safety or because they don’t like Trump’s personality, are basically voting for a figurehead, to be replaced by guess who. Either these voters are oblivious to this fact or they simply do not care.

Biden voters also are either unaware of his past associations with racists and his stand against integration through busing or they think it’s not a point of contention. And the same goes for his pay-for-play schemes with Ukraine, China, and more, as revealed by son Hunter’s laptop. Now granted , the corporate media and big tech teamed up to squelch these revelations, but the information could be found if one did one's due diligence before casting a vote. Trump certainly mentioned Biden’s corruption in every single one of his rallies in the last few weeks.

#21  ^Exactly. The left is communist/marxists. What has happened is exactly communism/Marxism. Complaints today was about late votes being 100% for the commu is/marxiat candidate. Now, where have I seen that before? Cuba, Venezuela ...

#20  None of us should be surprised Wednesday after the election as both sides are delivering on their promise. Trump said he would win on November 4th and he did; in most years the losing candidate would of conceded. And The Left is doing what they said which was “Trump will not win even if the votes are counted”.

#19  I disagree Spanky. You're talking about voter fraud which in all evidence is older than adulterated olive oil. I am referring specifically to purposely muddying the water pre-game and then in a classic move which I continue to predict will define him for the ages, 'taking it back', then let's call the lawyers. That I am afraid is relatively new.

#18   Be funny as all hell if CO and CA had to put their electoral votes to Trump because they signed that Electoral vote compact

Sadly, Vinegar Spolusing6485, because not enough states signed on to it — the bill has been in committee in the Ohio legislature for several years for example — the thing did not go into effect.

#17  How can Wayne County, Michigan i.e. Detroit report a 93 to 7 Biden result without cheating?

Trump's support among blacks was significantly higher than any Republican presidential candidate in memory, and Michigan is about to elect a black Republican senator. Also, turnout among blacks this year was lower than normal. No one is enthusiastic about Biden.

Put these together and it becomes extremely unlikely that Biden actually won a 93 to 7 victory in Detroit/Wayne County.

Trump is right. We're watching the election being stolen in front of our eyes.

#16  Evidently crime does pay.

When to congratulations to President Harris go out?

#15  Right now, Fox is showing WI and MI leaning blue, which - with NV, gives Joe 270.

#14  #12 They'll just disregard the compact. So, unless DOJ can prove cheating in Michigan (just kidding), Trump is toast - prepare for 1000 years of Chinese world domination.

#12  Just wondering what the national popular vote count is no one seems like they are reporting on it. Be funny as all hell if CO and CA had to put their electoral votes to Trump because they signed that Electoral vote compact that their electors have to vote the way the national popular vote went.

#11  The right precedent is not 2000 but 1960.

Blame the ghost of Chicago's Mayor Daley.

#10  From my modest perch I'd just like to take a moment and recognize the man who brought this great country to this point in time and history, Al Gore. G0d damn you Al, where ever you are and what ever your needy chakras are demanding at the moment, G0d damn you.

Here's the deal Al, everybody is tested, but it is virtually never when or where you think it will be. You were tested, your patriotism, you courage, and your dare I say? manhood?!?

Suddenly there was a pretty clear situation. No, not what you had hoped for, but in the end you never had any more interest in politics than Hunter Biden. You just were careful enough and frankly lacked his balls. But there you were, and what needed to be done not only for the country but in the end for yourself became painfully obvious.

Col Travis is out there for us all and his sword may not be as terrible and swift as the Almighty, but it sure cuts a prominent line, now doesn't it? You saw that line and you had your chance, too. A chance to step up, be a Man and do the right thing. Not for yourself or that criminal mob that fantasizes it's a political party, but for your country.

Perhaps not that John Basilone or Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain moment you had wanted. But then maybe a Higher power knew what that might mean for your unfortunate and accidental comrades.

But in the face of that admittedly hard choice, THIS is what you bequeathed to us, to this great, Hell, greatest of countries.

Legalistic bickering and dithering with technicalities erupting by the moment like mushrooms on a manure pile. THIS is what YOU will be known for, whatever else you do in this world for good or ill THIS will be what remains of you long after your most distant yet unborn descendants are forgotten dust.

So, congratulations Al, and oh, by the way, G0d damn you and those that love you. G0d bless our home land always, and to the Hell fires with socialists and socialism every where.

#9  Except for Arizona, as of midnight ET, Trump had already won Florida and Ohio easily, had taken the lead in N Carolina and was pulling away in every other battleground state when the vote tallies suddenly stopped updating.

Instead of a cascade of calls following the lead of Florida and Ohio, we suddenly had a standstill - even with well over 90% of the results in and Trump decisively ahead. In state after state after state: ahead in N Carolina and Georgia, ahead in Michigan and Wisconsin, ahead by 700,000 votes in Pennsylvania.

Five battleground states. In every one of them --- pfffft! Lights out. No more reporting, no more results, in all five of them.

It's as if a Super Bowl team were ahead by 8 points with 30 seconds to go, the other team takes possession of the ball on its own 20 yard line, and then, suddenly, the lights turn off.

Power in the stadium is turned off. The teams exit the field, fans go home, and lawyers descend on the venue to litigate the game's result.

How does this happen without massive fraud by the opposing team that was about to lose?

What possible explanation is there that does not include massive electoral fraud in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, Charlotte?

#4  Fox News has gone over to the dark side

Has gone? Where has this author been for the past several years.

Meanwhile, Deep State member Bill Barr did his job for his masters.

#2  Counting votes is not difficult; counting them to get a desired outcome is.

Sadly lawyers and courts are going to decide who is the next President
Posted by: Airandee   2020-11-04 06:44  

#1  He has a harsh bedside manner. He speaks his mind. He doesn't cower in fear. If you take a swing at him, expect the same in return. He's wealthy, and has a lovely wife and supportive family. These are all traits of a highly successful.... MAN !

A MAN !

The Orange Man needed a decisive victory, a landslide to overcome the corruption and dirty tricks. He obviously didn't get it.

I was wrong in 2008, wrong again in 2012. Now wrong again. Politics is obviously not my forte.
